The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Moscow had violated Article 11 of the European Convention of
Human rights, which protects the right of "peaceful assembly," and that
its acts were discriminatory.

The Moscow city government has rejected an application for a
homosexual march permit for the eighth year in a row, citing the need
for “respect for morality” and patriotism, according to Russian media
sources.

“According to Russian law, we must work clearly and consistently on
maintaining morality, directed to the teaching of patriotism to the
growing generation, and not toward unclear aspirations, not to mention
taking the city’s central squares and streets for this,” said Aleksei
Mayorov, head of Regional Security for the city of Moscow, according to
Interfax.

If homosexual activists defy the law and attempt to march as they have
in previous years, Mayorov warned that “a certain reaction will follow
and the action will be thwarted,” according to RIA Novosti. “In our
opinion there is no desire for such events in the city.”

Mayorov’s statements are reflective of public sentiment in Russia,
where 87 percent say they are opposed to such “gay pride” events,
according to a poll recently conducted by the Levada Public Opinion
Center, which also found that 85 percent are also opposed to the
creation of homosexual “marriage.”

Homosexual “pride” marches are often characterized by open debauchery
that includes public nudity, simulated and real acts of sodomy, mockery
of Christianity, and public drunkenness.

Moscow’s continuing refusal to capitulate to the international
homosexual movement’s demands is in defiance of European Court of Human
Rights, which has ordered the city to allow such demonstrations, as well as the chairman of the Council of Europe, who has denounced Moscow’s ban on “gay pride.”
Attempts by homosexuals to hold public demonstrations in Moscow and
other cities have provoked outrage by religious leaders and ordinary
Russian citizens, who often confront the marchers with force. Police
have found it necessary to detain and arrest homosexuals who have defied
local “pride” bans in recent years.
The Russian parliament is currently considering a nationwide ban on
homosexual propaganda aimed at minors, a measure that has already been
passed by a number of Russian cities.

In neighboring Georgia, priests and faithful of the Orthodox Church broke up a “gay pride” event this week.
